POLITICAL NOTES.

The State Democratic Executive Com
mittee has been called by Chairman Bar
bour to meet in Richmond Wednesday,
May 18th, to settle the time and place for
holding the State convention.
Lt.-Gov. Massey was ammo unced to ad-
dress thu people of Albemarle, last Mon
day, court.day, on the result of the Debt
Commission. but was detained at home by
the sickness OF his wife.
1t had been so many years since Rhode
Island had Democratic Governor, that
on the Inauguration of one on May 31st,
the city of Newport was given a regular
Fourth of July appearance. The artillery
joined in and there was a big procession.
In Senator Pasco, the new Democratic
Senator from Florida, the U. S. Senate
will see its third private-soldier- Senator.
Jones of Arkansas and Kenna of West
Virginia are the other two. The rest have
been Generals and Colonies.
When Senator Sherman speaks of Cleve-
lands appointing ''ex-rebels" to Office, he
should consider the fact that of thirteen
United States District Judges appointed
in the South by Republican Presidents
during the ten years preceding Mr.. Cleve-
lands Inauguration, no less than seven
were "out-and-out rebels" of whom six
had fought In the Confederate Array. Ii
presidents 60 for anything, then Cleve-
land can give them las plenty as black
berries.''
Speaker Carlisle, in an interview at
the subject of revenue reform and also On
the next Presidency. He believes that
taxation will be reduced by the next Con
gress as matter of necessity, and that
the tobacco tax for one thing will be re.
pealed by nearly unanimous consent. This
will take off $50, 100000 of revenue. AS
Mr.. Carlisle was understood to have pre-
vented the repeal of the tobacco tax in the
last Congress, his remarks at the present
time carry something like positive assur.
ance that the repeal will be carried next
winter.
David T. Little, a leading Republican
Of the Illinois legislature resigned last
week, having been appointed by the Presi
dent to the position of representative OF
the Republican party on the Pacific Rail
road Commission. In ad dressing the leg
islature, on his resignation be said he
WANTED to inform them that, If Cleve'
land Was renominated in 1888, the Repub
licans would have to beat him because he
was Democrat. HE must be defeated on
grounds other than inef1iciency In the
administration of office. The Republi.
cans could not beat him because be is not
a man of ability. capable to administer
the affairs of office. 1t will have to be
because he Is Democrat"

The Democratic press of Virginia is dis
cussing The propriety, in view of the able
bodied condition of the Virginia Democ-
racy since the May elections, of dispensing
with the State Convention which the State
Central Committee instructed Mr.. Bar
bOur to call. A convention this summer
strikes US as unnecessary and supeffuous,
but we have submitted so much graver
issues to the judgment of John s. Barbour
that we feel great confidence in leaving
this one to his long and level head. What.
ever he favors in this matter is the judg-
ment of victorious political leader, who
SO far has done all things for the best,
whose presence is victory and whose alb.
sence Is defeat, and we cheerfully leave it
to him.
There is one thing, however, about
which we think the party will be found
unanimous-if there is to be convention
let it be small ia number. and not null
titudinous mob. One delegate to every 800
voters, with no "fractions thereof" coun-
ted, will do.

The 'sCoupon Crusher'' act passed by
the legislature, is likely to reach the U. 8.
Supreme Court by habeas corpus or other
wise in ashurrg. In,Baltimore, Saturday,
that extraordinary occupant Of the bench,
Judge Bond. being applied to by W. L.
Royal on behalf of the English bondhol-
holders, ISSUED an order restraining Audi
tor Marye, Attorney General Ayres, all
the Treasurers and Commonwealth Attor-
neys, and almost everybody else in the
State from bringing any Of the suits con-
templated under the coupon crusher-that
lisa suit by the State to recover in Its own
courts the money for taxes, from tax-pay'
ers who has rendered coupons. The order
was served upon the Sheriff of Richmond
Monday. Attorney General Ayres at once
sent to Sheriff Winston of Richmond, to
serve notice of suit on the Wheeler q
Wilson Sewing Machine Co., which oweo
the State $1S3 for license, for which 1t hac
rendered coupons. The Sheriff backed
down before Judge Bonds order, and At
torney General Ayres served the notice
himself. 1t is now in order for the Cover
nor to remove the Richmond Sheriff under
the new law empowering him so to DO anc
be will doubtless do so as soon as he re-
turns to Richmond.

The general, almost national compli-
ments that have been paid to the Virginia
troops at the National Encampment for
their discipline and perfect behavior has
done the heart of the old Commonwealth
good. The fact that one of her infantry
regiments came home with the regimental
prize, medals, and stand of National and
State colors, is gratifying, but it is moth
ing compared to the satisfaction given by
the universal applause awarded their
soldierly and gentlemanly behavior
Hardly Washington letter, sent out to
the press of the different sections of the
country, has not made special mention of
this marked characteristic of the Virginia
troops. and often the correspondents have
held them up as examples to the less orderly
soldiery from other localities, and their
good order on and off duty, the neatness
of their camp. and their steady discipline
have been the theme of general and hearty
praise. The uniformity of their dress,
also, extending through the two regiments
and battalion of white and one battalion
of colored infantry, always drew favorable
comment from visitors to the camp.

The Lynchburg advance says tina
ssalmost without exception" the mer-
chants of that city are rendering coupons
for taxes. The coupons are of course re-
fused and they pay the money ''under
protest." This is to be regretted for more
reasons than one. The legislature is by
large majority rural body and as gen.
eral rule the cities bear about as much as
can be put on them. 1t is pretty certain that
o new legislature that finds the merchants
of the large cities trying to pay their tax
at so cents on the dollar, while the farmer
pays his dollar for dollar, will adopt
much higher license bill than now, and
one which will cover the coupon margin.

The question of organic union between

The question of organic union between
the Northern and Southern Presbyterians
seems to be approached by the representa-
tive bodies OF both churches with good
sense and wise elaboration. From an
outside stand point it would seem that
the union is certain, but the time uncer
tain. To one who has watched the slow
approach of great descriptions or great
unions, -he symptoms seem to be strong
IS 80 $500 will be speedy. The rap
idly changing sentiment of the South
about the past, seems to be finding more
open doors in the Southern General AS
sembly every year: but there are enough
doors still kept shut, to make the slow and
cautious policy adopted by it the BEST
The Southern men who are to consult
with men similarly authorized by the
Northern Assembly. are Rev. DR.. G. B.

elders DIR. W. P. McPheeters, st. Louis.
Mo-, T. FL. Carter, Texas; R. T. Simpson,

of "inquiring into and ascertaining the
position that assembly purposes to main

tical boards. and any other subjects now
regarded as obstacles in the way of united

Ex-Vice President VIM. A. Wheeler,
OF N. Y. who was seated on the Hayes
and Wheeler ticket in 1875, died last Sat-
urday. In Louisiana he will be most
pleasantly remembered as the author OF
the plan in 1875 by which the Democratic
majority was put in possession of the
House of Delegates of that State. which
was about the first dawning of regard for
constitutional requirements that had been
seen in the reconstructed State. For
some years he had lived very secluded
life in consequence Of disease and the
country had very generally lost sight of
him. He had no hand in the "negotia-
tions7' which seated Hayes and, necessa-
riIy, himself.

FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE. 10. 1887
YESTERDAY

was great day for Staunton and, we
hope, for the Nation. for 1T was day in
which National history was made. 1t was
the first meeting of men of equal promi-
hence who represented the civil conflict of
a quarter of century ago, and their
words and feelings all glowed with
wholesome National health.
The thanks of Virginia are due Presi-
dent G.. Julian Pratt, of the Augusta
Memorial Association, who conceived and
arranged this unique reunion, and to all
who bore share in carrying it out.

The attainment of it's fiftieth year few
days since by the Baltimore ''Sun," was
made the occasion of IAN unprecedented
demonstration in honor of its founder and
proprietor, A. s. Abel. Congratulatory
kilograms was received by him from dis
tinguished men in all parts of the country
and from national representatives abroad,
and at the head of the list stood one from
President Cleveland himself. While the
''Sun" is the equal of any paper III Amer
lea in enterprise in news-gathering, and
in the general ability with which it is con-
Quoted, we take it that it was more to the
character of the journal that was due this
extraordinary demonstration. There is no
great journal in the country, that we know
of, that stands out in such bold relief for
justice, moderation, and conservatism in
handling all public questions, and accura-
cy in giving the events of its time, as does
the Baltimore "Sun." 1t is said its proprie-
tor is worth many millions; if so, he has
earned it. for the paper he has founded
has done many millions worth of good to
the world in its fifty years.

We fail to see in the election, last
month. any verifcation of the gloomy
forebodings of the Virginia Republican
press, and especially of our neighbor, the
Valleg Vdrgtnian, about the Mccormick
Election law. Not complaint from any
county; many Republican officers elected
In undeniably Democratic counties, and
no counting out charged anywhere, does
seem to indicate that there has been any
foundation for the clamor against the law.

Rev. j. W. Holt writes to his paper, the
'Religius Telescope" of Dayton, Ohio, a
very interesting account of the Interna-
tional Y. M. G. A. CopgsennttiiGei' at a. San
Francisco. The reports of the two years
work show wonderful growth of the Or
ganization. In that time 46 buildings of
the value of 81 ,180. 900 have been erected
and 11S new Secretaries put to work. The
reception of the organization by the Asso-
citation in San Francisco was remarkable
for its elegance. The interior of the build.
ing was filed with rare flowers, and daily
at O'Clock, each church of the city taking
it by turn, set a royal lunch for the con-
vention in the hall of the Association.

CLEANED FROM THE MAILS

In Fredericksburg on the I'd inst, at St
Georges church, Brainard Warner the mil.
lionaire Of Washington city, was married to
Miss Mary Hamilton Phillips niece of Rev
r. H. Phillips late of Staunton. The chaneel
was made beautiful flower garden, while over
it hung triangular frame with gold trimmings
in which were set eighty-two vafegated wax
candles lighted. The sides of the chance
were lined with flaming gas jets and candles.
Among the BRIDES presents was a diamond
brooch from the groom and deed from him
to his wife for $50, 900 house on Massachus-
etts Avenue, Washington. The bridal party
and friends after the ceremony left for Wash
ington in two special parlor cars. They sail
this week for Europe.
John w. Carroll, formerly of Staunton, who
Council, has been member of it for twenty
four years and for the last sixteen its Presi
dent, and in all that time never missed O
meeting-except one that was held in his alb
sence from the city-and never was late fo1
the roll call. A record hardly equalled we
suppose anywhere.

1t sounds like political dream and yet
it is solid fact. that change of only
four thousand votes will make Massachu-
sets a Democratic State, and change of
six thousand would put Michigan in the
same list. The Republican party at the
North seems to be fading away like mist.
Six years ago these two States were staunch-
ly Republican by $4,000 majority each.

A COMING REVOLT.

There is no surer sign in the Virginia
political heavens than coming revolt
against ex-senator Malone as the "boss"
of his party. The result of the congress
sional election in the State last year eman-
cipated long repressed element in the
Republican party. The successful Repub-
lican candidates owed Malone nothing.
Brown of Accomac, Brown Of Pittsylva-
MIA, Bowden of Norfolk, Yost of Staun-
ton, and Gaines of Nottoway were elected
without his Intervention, and some of
them won their nominations over his
tavorites notably Gaines and Bowden.
All these men. with possibly one excen=
tion-Bowden, are young men, ard In line
with thor '', Is INDEPENDENCE Of Malone,
TWO more young men-ex- Gov.
Is ron and Senator Riddleberger.
/ d the next legislature be Republican,
7 easily recognized that the U. S.
Senatorship would fall to one of these
young men. But they well know that if
Malone is permitted to retain the leader
ship of the party and that leadership is
followed by Republican legislative
majority. 1t would fall to none of them
but to him. They are also wise enough to
be taught by retrospection that every Re-
publican member Of the House of Repre-
sentati yes from Virginia must be seryitor
OF the newly elected Senator, or prepare
to meet his hostility when again before
his district for denomination. In short, the
situation is that Malone or these men
must politically die. It is reduced to
whether he can be killed off from the
party organization in advance of the cleo
tiOn Of the next legislature, or whether,
failing in that his taking off shall be left
to Democratic legislature. However this
may be settled among themselves, the
downfall of Malone is a necessity for all
concerned. The election of the Republi-
cans on the county ticket in Shenandoah,
Senator Riddleberger's home, last week,
and the defeat of the Malone Republicans
on the same ticket, is a shadow cast by
coming events. Malone Republicans will
find opposition for nominations to the
legislature, and il successful over it will
only be SO to find success snatched from
them at the polls. For the man whose
face was among the first 'turned towards
the morning." the situation seems to be a
cruel one, but 1t is nevertheless memorable.
